IRM OnWatch: Signals Include Governance Pressure, AI Adoption Proof Points, and Human-in-the-loop Design
Governance risk moved to the foreground as an activist investor disclosed a roughly 2 percent stake in Workiva and called for board and capital allocation changes. AI adoption signals remained strong, anchored by a visible at-scale activation of watsonx with ESPN and a sell-side upgrade that reframed ServiceNow’s near-term AI execution. Product direction indicators surfaced at Archer with Evolv portfolio additions and an explicit human-in-the-loop design stance, while OneTrust reported dated momentum markers that should be treated as viability signals pending customer corroboration.
IRM OnWatch: Signals Include Embedded AI Controls with ServiceNow, IBM and Hyperproof
AI moves from pilots to embedded controls. ServiceNow, IBM, and Hyperproof advanced AI features that directly support evidence collection, model governance, and remediation, signaling a shift from productivity to verifiable compliance outcomes.
Third-party risk converges into unified stacks. SecurityScorecard’s acquisition of HyperComply combines questionnaire automation with ratings, showing buyers should expect integrated TPRM platforms over the next two to three quarters.
Resilience, ESG, and privacy institutionalize further. Everbridge, Workiva, EcoOnline, and OneTrust reinforced ESG disclosure, personal safety integration, and AI governance, aligning risk practices with board-level assurance expectations.
Identity threats remain systemic. Microsoft, Cloudflare, and law enforcement dismantled a phishing-as-a-service network targeting Microsoft 365, underscoring identity proofing and MFA as structural controls in IRM workflows.
